Felicia dragged Shawn out of the pit while speaking.
Earlier when Shawn had fallen into the pit, he had tried to crawl out, but Felicia kicked him back down repeatedly. Now that she was trying to pull him out, he gripped onto the dirt with all his strength, unwilling to come out.
"Ah! What are you doing? What do you want?"
It wasn't surprising that Shawn was terrified. This place was perfect for killing someone.
The mountains were dense with trees and thick with overgrown grass. There was a cliff of moderate height close by as well. During the rainy summer months, a waterfall would form there. Even now in winter, there was a small cascade.
Felicia, while dragging him along, said, "You wouldn't cooperate, so I'll find Lucas myself! The whole village is out looking for him. I'm sure he will be found!"
Shawn screamed and struggled. "Haven't you thought that maybe I've already killed that kid?"
His words suggested he hadn't had the chance to act yet.
Felicia's eyes flickered, and she exhaled in relief. She pulled harder on him and coldly responded, "If that's the case, it will be an eye for an eye. You're the one who deserves to die!"
She dragged Shawn to the edge of the cliff. The sound of the waterfall was loud, and the water that blew in the wind was cool against their skin.
Shawn was absolutely terrified. He kept screaming for help till his voice was hoarse, but all he could do was watch helplessly as Felicia dragged him closer to the edge.
Finally, Shawn cried out in desperation, "I don't know! I really don't know! I didn't kidnap the kid! It has nothing to do with me!"
Lucas' disappearance was real, but if it wasn't Shawn who kidnapped him, who else could it be?
